Jesse,
I particularly liked your videos, as usual. I'll bet a million bucks that there'll be a bunch of Na Hoku Hanohano Awards coming your way as soon as that CD comes out!
Oh wait, no. They'd have to be HMA's, yeah? |

And here's Rebecca doing one of my other favorite leo ki'eki'e songs, "Kalama'ula." Very nice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm3zk1WeuNQ |

Mahalo, Alika! But since I don't compose, arrange or record, I don't think I'll be up for any awards! I DO, however, play for fun!

At first I thought it was Kalama's Quartet...or Sol Ho`opi`i. But upon listening to CDs which include their versions, it's neither of them.
I'm betting Ferera & Franchini from the CD "On the Beach at Waikiki: 1914-1952". I loaned my copy to someone...can't remember who...sigh... |

I don't know the singer or group, but the song is "Hapa Haole Hula Girl" without a doubt. My favorite version is the one by Paul Shimomoto. |

Thanks Wanda and Duke. I am glad you enjoy them. I'll consider recording a CD. It's hard enough to record three verses of a song without making big mistakes. Everyone one of my Youtubes has a language mistake, and I don't want to pass those on in a recording. I think Duke and Jay have created a truly amazing online archive of slack key classics that is a good resource for slackers everywhere. Jesse Tinsley |
